I reckon 'Tower of Song' = the music business? Every verse (apart from Bono's contribution) ends with the title of the song.
1st: One hundred floors above me - where the 'big-wigs' (bosses) inhabit?
2nd: They tied me to a table - recording contract?
3rd: They won't let a woman kill you - they'll stand by you?
4th: Hear those funny voices - the realisation that he's tied?
6th: I'll be speaking to you sweetly - when he's played on the radio/whatever?
7th: I'm just paying for my rent - no other choice?
As for 5th verse: can't understand how distant they have become/promises unfulfilled/demise of the relationship?
I don't believe this has anything to do with any relationship other than work, though would appreciate anyone telling me otherwise? In fact, I reckon this song should be entitled "The Power of Song"?!!!
